Post-Game Talk: (Wash)Launch vehicles at (B) Payloads Game 3

[Goomba]

Ovi is Samsonov’ s big bro. It’s a lot different getting chewed out by somebody you respect and know wants the best for you rather than from a rando. I’m sure that wasn’t the first time either.

When did this happen and is there footage?

If Bruins fans could stop liking my post explaining the offsides, that would be great

Edit; damn you @EverettMike

 

[Dibbs31]

They do give a f***. They're injured, and playing through. Except for Kuznetsov, who's a total dink.

Oh come on man. Bruins absolutely outplayed the Caps from the start of the third period until the OTGWG. Keep up the injury BS excuse. Backstrom and Carlson both played like shit and OV has barely made an impact. The only reason we are in this series is because of Hathaway, Dowd, and the goalies

 

[Holtbyisms]

Once again, no killer instinct cost us the game. Late lead, turtle, tied, ot loss. Either the coaching style is trash or the core doesn't understand the message because it's up to them to set the tone for the rest of the team.

I was really hoping this game could put an end to the goalie carousel, but that ending had to go ruin those plans.

 

[mad4comp]

I dont understand. Was not the score 2-1 and the tie goal was on the power play?

Would you rather turtle and get a penalty called on you... or would you rather they play balls to the walls with a chance to extend the lead and maybe get called for a penalty or maybe get a PP?

The former is basically a loser strategy... the latter is how you win games.

Sorry, I just thought grasping the concept of tagging up on an offside play should be general hockey fan knowledge that crosses fan borders.

Grasping the concept of tagging up is one thing, but grasping the concept of coming to the opponents’ boards after a disappointing loss is also important.

Meh. Samsonov is the easy answer moving forward if Vanecek is injured. He played out of his mind tonight

 

[crab]

I really hope no Caps fans go posting in other teams GDT especially after a win. Such a loser move.

I generally agree, but there’s going to be plenty of Caps fans who don’t.

Do you really think that Craig would be back for game 4?

Controversy might be a better word than carousel for what I intended to convey.

Go f*** yourself, go home.

Yea valiant effort in games 1 and 2. But don't think we want Craig coming back to save this series

 

[caps4cup]

The Caps were terrible in OT but the narrative that they turtled in the 3rd is complete and utter BS. They had 67% of the shot attempts at 5v5, didn’t allow a single shot on net, and had nearly 60% of the xG%. If you have a problem with the OT, that’s completely understandable. But let’s stop pushing this 3rd period turtle story, when they didn’t even allow a freaking shot at even strength, just because it furthers your “narrative”.

 

[twabby]

Why is Justin Schultz playing 24 minutes and Nick Jensen is only playing 17 minutes at 5v5?

Going to keep banging this drum! It’s insane!

 

[Midnight Judges]

That was a weird way to lose a game.

Regroup and come back pissed.

 

[Misery74]

They need some younger legs.

I’d rather lose with Sprong and CMM than Raffl and Carr.

 

[Hivemind]

Second game in a row that Schultz was involved in a communication mix up that cost the team in OT. Maybe the communication issues aren’t exclusively with Samsonov.

 

[Firsov99]

Controversy might be a better word than carousel for what I intended to convey.

Well, it has been a carousel up to this point considering that we had a different starter in each game. Had we had a fourth goalie, maybe we would have continued with this approach

 

[Dibbs31]

Blowing a 2-1 lead in the 3rd period. 16-3 shot advantage in first OT and Ovie blaming Samsonov. Not a good look

 

[twabby]

For that matter why is the corpse of John Carlson playing 27 minutes and Nick Jensen is only playing 17 minutes at 5v5?

Jensen was at 75% xGF playing primarily against the Hall line!

These last two games haven’t thrilled me from a coaching standpoint!

 

[Firsov99]

Meh, if people are going to complain about a call that was very obviously not offsides, they deserve to be called out

Fans of all teams in every imaginable sport ALWAYS complain. And often unreasonably because emotions are involved. Calling them out in the heat of the moment is just not emotionally intelligent.

I saw a blyatt at the end, didnt I?
